Edward Conuitt Judge (1802–1875) was born in London in 1802, the son of Joseph Judge, who worked at the London Custom House. He received his early education at St Paul's School before being admitted as a pensioner to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, on January 12, 1820. A few months later, on May 11, 1820, he migrated to Trinity College, where he matriculated in the Michaelmas term of 1820. He was named a Scholar in 1823 and graduated with a BA in 1824, later proceeding to his MA per Litteras Regias in 1825. During his time at Cambridge, he was associated with the elite intellectual discussion society known as the Cambridge Apostles.

Prepared for a life in the church, Judge was ordained as a deacon by the Bishop of Ely on November 7, 1824, with letters dismissory from London. In 1826, he embarked on a significant overseas career by traveling to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. There, he served as chaplain to the forces at Cape Town and rector of St Francis, Simonstown. Deeply involved in the ecclesiastical and educational development of the colony, he was appointed a Canon of Cape Town in 1852. He also lent his academic expertise to public service, sitting on the Board of Public Examination in Cape Town until its functions were merged into the university, whereupon he continued to serve as an examiner in literature. Judge passed away in 1875.
